so i accidentally set my DVR to tape oprah every day. which isn't necessarily a bad thing since i appreciate her... for the most part. but the episode i watched today was talking about how rude people have become. it's just really disgusting. she touched on a few topics, listed below that i'll gladly comment on. i just want to remind you that being rude and being bitchy are two completely different things. i admit, i am a bitch. i have improved tremendously, but i'm still a bitch. i try not to be rude, but some people are just so fucking stupid, they kind of deserve it. i would also like to note that when i was young and didn't really know what a 'pet peeve' was, i listed 'smoking.' now that i've been there, done that, quit that... i have a new list. similar to the o's. now on to her list of rude behaviors...
*talking on the cell phone/texting while doing public tasks
i guess this one doesn't really bother me so much because i know that the world is coming to an end. clearly, everyone texts/im constantly because we no longer know how to converse with one another. and it's way more fun to get into an accidental fight because you interpreted the tone of the text incorrectly. i do seriously hate when people talk on the phone when in a restaurant. ew. either excuse yourself or try to remember the times when we only had landlines. don't you have voicemail anyway?
*gossiping
guilty, no comment.
*being chronically late
i've found being late has a lot to do with living in california. i was NEVER late when i lived in the midwest. i was early. at least 10-15 minutes. granted, la has traffic. but if you've lived here a week you know you have to adjust because anything can happen. still, i'm late. except for work because i leave one hour early and it's a whoppin' 12 miles away.
*not picking up after your pets defecation
that's just sick. pick it up you lowlife. you'd be pissed if i shit on your lawn. carry a plastic bag or buy some gloves. i know it's sick but you bought the damn animal! take care of it! oh, you probably can't even afford to feed that animal. you know what? dont' worry honey, the electric bill can be late as long as fido has his food. dumbbbbbbbbbbbbb.
*taking someone's parking space
ok, this one i'll debate about. parking spaces are a free for all, especially out here. there are no names labeling them. the only reason i feel the need to justify this is because brett & i stole a woman's parking space ONCE. she was on her way up the parking structure, us on the way down. so CLEARLY we were there first, right? because we had been all the way up. and were on the way down. so we took the space. the girl cussed at us and whatnot and i was afraid she'd key my car, but she didn't. it's just the karma i worried about.
*being rude to service workers/terrible tippers
i was a waitress through nursing school. thank god, it taught me amazing time management skills that i would need as a nurse. which is still the service industry. if you want to bitch about how crummy the food/service is, quit returning. stay at home and cook for yourself you fatass! and if you can't afford to tip the appropriate 15-20% for a full meal, get an appetizer. it's not the waitress' fault you can't afford it! they are making $3 and hour.
*speaking a different language at work
ok this is my own personal pet peeve. we live in america. we work in america. fucking speak english. it is RUDE when you speak to someone other than your patient/customer in any language other than english. i don't think i need to dive into this topic, you get it right? si?
